Read from Yorick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Tryndamere.
This is Yorick's own plan; across 1,483 pooled games the lane is leaning Yorick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Level 1 hinges on spacing: his Bloodlust heal versus your Q Last Rites. |
| Level 2 | Tryndamere | At 2 your E mark plus first ghouls out-trade his raw autos. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out as your Mourning Mist (E) mark and cage let you peel. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even with cage timing offsetting his Spinning Slash aggression. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 skill holds briefly, but expect Undying Rage (R) to deny kills. |
| First item | Tryndamere | Trinity Force plus Maiden lets you win the first-item side lane. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | Two items in, Maiden plus ghouls out-siege him — cage his Spinning Slash. |
Tryndamere owns levels 1-2: his passive Fury builds crit chance fast and his autos plus Bloodlust healing beat your early Q Last Rites trades. Don't try to win the auto-war; farm safely with ghoul soak from Shepherd of Souls and poke with E Mourning Mist when he goes for CS.
